I'm running SuSE Linux 6.4 as a gateway to the Internet for my home LAN. I can manually dial with wvdial and have /etc/ppp/ip-up successfully restarting SuSEfirewall, so that traffic flows to the Net. I have installed the wvdial.dod script per the How-to from the SuSE support database, entitled "wvdial and dial-on-demand" and have also applied the wvdial fix that corrected a dial-on-demand problem, but dial-on-demand doesn't work. (I can still dial manually.) I suspect there might be a setting that is required in the firewall config to allow packets to trigger the dial-on-demand, but I cannot find it. If I set FW_DEV_WORLD_ppp0="192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0" (to force routing to the local IP address defined in wvdial.dod) then routing no longer works. Without such a setting, I cannot see how packets can get to pppd to trigger a dial. Has anyone any ideas on this? /Craig Wyndham (Sydney, Australia)
